- “Depression has been a big part of my life since my 17th…but three years ago it ended,” says musician Xander Stok, “I never imagined living without it."
The singer and songwriter, who had success with his band 'The New Shining’, shares in this testimony video how he struggled with the disease. The depressions came and went, but sometimes lasted three years. During his latest dark period his girlfriend was on suicide watch.
A miraculous encounter with Jesus, three years ago, changed everything. Since then, depressions have been something of the past, and he has a new mission in life: put all the Bible book onto music.
His project, 'Project of Love' has since then captured the imagination of many listeners from all over the world.
"It's like watching someone else", he says in this video while watching old footage of himself.

Thank you Xander for your testimony and especially your songs. I just discovered them through the Hallow app & was immediately drawn to them. They're so beautiful. I am a singer too(amateur). I sing along with you. I can't wait to incorporate them into my worship time. Singing is praying. Music comes from God. You have a wonderfully, beautiful talent coupled with a willingness to listen to the voice of God. Thank you for sharing that with us. May God's blessings and peace be upon you as you worship Him in song.🌹

Amen & Amen! Mag God jou nog laaaank spaar om hierdie doel te bereik, om soveel moontlik van Sy woorde op so 'n wonderlike wyse te kan versprei aan verlorenes. Jou kragtige getuienis, is presies wat mense in nood, na Ons Vader kan lei, hul geestelike oë, ore & hart kan oopmaak sodat Jesus nie tevergeefs by die deur van hul harte moet staan & klop nie! God seën jou op jou pad vorentoe!
Baie Dankie Rene! 🔥🙏😁❤️

Xander, ek luister al 'n geruime tyd na jou pragtige musiek en is elke keer opgewonde oor die nuutste lied wat ek weer op youtube ontdek! Vanaand kom ek toe toevallig op jou getuienis af en dit het my so gestig. Dit is so heerlik om eerstehands uit jou mond te hoor van die groot dinge wat God in jou lewe gedoen het - dit is só bemoedigend! Jou vreesloosheid oor die terugkeer van depressie is absoluut in die kol - as God dan in ons is, waarom sou ons vrees? Ons skuil mos onder die vleuels van die Almagtige! Hy het jou op jou Naam geroep! Ebenhaeser - tot hiertoe het God jou gedra en beslis en verseker sal Hy jou tot die einde dra! Doe so voort en ons bid Gods rykste seën op jou bediening toe! Dit is 'n groot seëning vir soveel mense regoor die wêreld!
1 John 5:4-6
4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
6 This is the one who came by water and blood-Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
Amen
Thank you brother for your testimony. Welcome to the Family ❤️🙏
Mooi man, zo ging het bij mij ook, bijna dezelfde ervaring gehad 🙏🙌
Rabi Schneider sent a message to me to watch you. I seen you for the first time today singing watch the birds. 😇❤️🙏🎸. Beautiful
Een prachtig en ontroerend verhaal Xander. Ik ben heel dankbaar dat je God hebt gevonden en dat hij jou als werktuig gebruikt. Wacht met spanning op je volgende song.
Thanks Harold! Not 'just' as a tool though 😁 I'm His son ❤️🔥 Blessings! 🙌

Wow Xander, I got this just this morning 3/13/24 from a German friend asking me if I knew you and if you were Dutch also as I am and I said yes he is Dutch, but I never heard of him, I will have a look and listen to the song you sent me... so I did, well it blew me out of my socks, I was baptized as a catholic as a baby as so many do, but I felt not really a 'band' when I saw the hypocrisy of so many things and mind you, not knowing what I know now and I left them when I was 16 but kept 'in touch with God' but I didnt know if that was because I was 'indoctrinated or felt fear for 'what IF' and I kept meeting persons who believe in God, J.Witnesses, Baptists, Evangelic Christians, and of more directions. I decided to let me baptize last year in Vila Real de San Antonio on my birthday and on my birth hour and then I started hearing about 'missing books in the bible' the pope being a pedo and hid many of the books to keep us from the truth,... pfff I always felt a sort of being 'an outsider' and I still do, I do believe in God and his son Jesus... BÚT, I would love to know what is REALLY the truth, are we being manipulated, cajoled?? I will ask God thru his son if he please give me DEFINITE VERY CLEAR OVERDUIDELIJKE answers dat ik niet langer geplaagd wordt door dit soort gedachten maar me eindelijk op mijn gemak kan voelen, hou niet vd woorden 'gehoorzamen, overgeven' . Ik vind je verhaal enorm en je muziek die je hebt gemaakt op de woorden die in de bijbel staan, grandioos. Ik probeer op het moment de bijbel te begrijpen via Tom Bradford op YT die de THORA, de Complete Joodse Bijbel uitlegt... daar voel ik me al weer wat beter bij dan alleen met het NT... GOD zij mét je Xander! 🙏
Beste @scarlattibombatti4920, ik wil je aanmoedigen om God te blijven zoeken. Hij heeft zijn zoon Jezus Christus voor jou en mij gegeven, opdat iedereen die in hem gelooft eeuwig leven heeft. Geloven is vertrouwen, stel je vertrouwen op de Heere God (oud hollands liedje, misschien ken je het wel). Vertrouw hem, stort je hart uit bij hem❤. En nog een bijbelstudie/leestip: bibleproject heeft goede visuele uitleg bij alle bijbelboeken en heel veel thema's. EN en NL. Gods zegen voor jou 🙌
It escalated quickly into Dutch 😅 unfortunately the translator is not available if there is a part in English and part in foreign language therefore I can not respond to your commentary fully. What I can say is, that you betrayed Jesus by leaving His Church, the Catholic Church He founded because of flawed people in it. That’s what it is. Jesus didn’t call perfect people to be His apostles and He called Peter, who denied Him three times in the lowest, darkest time for Jesus, yet He still didn’t took the keys to His Church from Peter, whom anointed successor is the Pope. You based your apostasy on hear-saying and false statements just like the people who accused Jesus back then. You didn’t have God like mercy on the human-Pope, you did judge, what is God’s job to do, not yours. You searched by sect (J. Witnesses are not Christian’s!) and others Churches that protested God’s Word while you have been granted the greatest grace by being baptized into the first ever Holy Apostolic Catholic (means universal btw.) Church. And you tossed away the grace mislead by your own feelings and doing YOUR will not this of your Father in Heaven.
It’s your life and afterlife - your choice. But you need to know, if there are some wrong deeds unto the clergy, they will be held accountable before God for them. You will be held accountable for your deeds. Let God be God. He has everything in His Hand.
One thing is sure - no matter how corrupt and vile, flawed and wrong the humans in the church are - the Church herself remains HOLY. It’s Jesus beloved bride, “and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.”
Search no more. Just read about the first church fathers and you will be back in your cradle Catholic Church sooner than you think. The Eucharist is what Jesus meant in Mt 28,20: “20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” He IS in the Eucharist and you can be in communion with Him at every Mass. But you left…
May Holy Ghost guide you and God bless you 🕊️
Btw. You unnecessarily letting baptize you shows that you don’t trust Him and you “corrected” Him because you thought the first baptism in His Name was not valid… If a person is baptized in the Name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Ghost the baptism is valid and do not have to be repeated. Only baptism without those three Name have to be done correctly. It’s the first mistake and sign of protest to God’s Word and Work.
Furthermore, baptism at the birthday and birth time is a big red flag. It stinks like “magic”, like occult practices where such things are being made “God”, it means the detail is given attention and being worshipped like God. Time and space has no meaning to God. You will not be “more” or “better” baptized if you baptize at your birth hour.. it’s biggest nonsense I have heard yet about the new Protestant churches. Let it make clear, you sinned against the Holy Ghost by letting you re-baptized and if you read the Bible, this is the only unforgivable sin according to Jesus
Is there a place I can listen to it with out interruption
Vergeet niet en zie dat God is heilig, en dat wij onze zonde moeten kunnen erkennen en er van omdraaien en er van weglopen … dat wij wedergeboren moeten worden om echt Zijn geredde kind te zijn. Dan verblijf in Jesus en eindig de race in Hem!
Hij komt terug en wij zullen Hem ontmoeten in de wolken… Hij zal de wraak op aarde doen storten over allen die verharde harten hebben en dan zal Hij de aarde doen helen en Zijn beloofde regering van Koning David op Zijn schouders nemen en over het duizend jarige rijk regeren en wij Zijn geliefde bruid zullen altijd bij Hem zijn.
Amen
En nu nog gedoopt worden
❤❤❤
